federal law enforcement agencies continue to president. at the president's direction, the department of homeland security is providing anything necessary in the ongoing investigation. we encourage the public to be vigilant and listen to state and local officials. there was quite a bit reaction to the linguistic question about what the wlt president did or did not use the word terrorism to describe the event, chuck todd and i had a back and forth about that. does it matter at all from the perspective, an investigator on the ground, is that at all meaning to feel doing your job? >> at this point, that's more something for the media to worry about and what the president said. this investigation is being treated like terrorism. the default position is when you have multiple devices go off or attempted to go off, it's terrorism from an investigative standpoint. >> in terms of the resource? >> the resources, the laws that will be used, the methods and techniques of the investigation, this will be treated like terrorism. until proven otherwise, e

you're seeing a lot of law enforcement, the national guard. we've heard the navy is assisting the investigation. the back bay, if you've been to boston, is usually a very popular area, a very busy area, especially after the marathon. these bars are going crazy usually after the marathon with people celebrating. right now everything is shut down. everyone around here is looking for answers. they're coming up to reporters, going up to police officers, trying to figure out why anybody would do this. of course, there are so few answers as of now. again, the white house and homeland security chairman are saying it appeared to be terrorism. it happened around the four hour mark of the race, around the finish line. that's when most of the racers usually finish. it looks like it was intended to cause the most damage. right afterwards there was certainly a scene of chaos. the first explosion it seemed people didn't know quite what happened. maybe it could have been an accident. 15 seconds later when the second explosion went off, people knew something
